backbonejs + cors and save() method

Question

I'm trying to execute a POST throw the save method. Here is my model.

app.Models.Dummy = Backbone.Model.extend({
    initialize: function () {
        url = 'http://anotherdomain/Hello/';
    },
});

When i execute:

    dummy.save({text : "greg"}, {
        success : function(){       
            console.log('Ok!');
        }, 
        error: function(){
            console.log('Error');
        }
    });

The request is fired with an OPTIONS header (code 200) but the POST request is never fired. However When i execute:

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: "http://anotherdomain/Hello/",
        data: {text:"greg"},
        success: function(r) { alert(r.Result) },
        dataType: "application/json"
    });

it's works!

Does i need to override something in backbone?

EDIT:

The request is:

OPTIONS http://anotherdomain/Hello/ HTTP/1.1
Host: anotherdomain
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0

and the response is:

That's not a valid OPTIONS response for CORS. The response needs to include headers that tell the browser what's allowed. For example (taken from MDN):

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://foo.example
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-PINGOTHER

I know you said that the $.ajax worked but based on this CORS response I doubt that is accurate and suggest you double check. Under the covers, backbone is itself just using $.ajax
